Oct 17, 2008 Pours a cloudy orange color with a thin head that fades rather quick. The nose is kind of bland and is semi floral. The flavor is nice and herbal with some spice and has a lot of cherry and hops in the finish. Overall it is a refreshing brew with some nice flavors but the finish is a bit watery and could use some more carbonation.

Oct 16, 2008 Decent aroma of floral and euro hops followed by some wood/oak, not getting any cherry. Flavor not very saison like, way too sweet, with tons of alcohol, and that it. Body/mouthfeel thick and oily, not very vibrant.

Oct 15, 2008 IT WAS NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. IT POURED GOLDEN COLOR IT TASTE LIKE A SAISON BEER BUT THE CHERRY TASTE WAS MILD AND THE OAK AGING IS NOT VERY APPARENT. I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING BETTER CONSIDERING IT WAS MADE BY SOUTHERN TIER.

Oct 15, 2008 Aroma = bread, yeast, wheat and a touck of spice.
Pours apple-juice gold with a large white head that diminishes quickly. No lacing.
Taste = Belgian malts, wheat, hardly any taste of cherry or oak, touch of vanilla. Lively carbonation. Drinkable but not worth a second try.

Oct 13, 2008 This one was not so good. Had a sweet syrupy wheat taste and not a whole lot of cherries at all. Maybe thats a good thing. Light and maybe a little oaky, I was not getting much of a smell. Not nearly as interesting as the name of the beer suggests.

Oct 10, 2008 Hazy and orange-gold in the glass. I was expecting some sourness on the nose, some alcohol, or something out of the ordinary, but this beer has the nose of a very wheaty, very rustic saison that sports some heavy spice, too. There is just a hint of sweet perfume. I suppose you could call it cherry. Tasting is a whole different ballgame. The front end has a sweet, hop presence -- lemon, apricot -- some wood. Then just a little bit of sweet cherry hidden in there. Towards the end, the palate kind of falls apart, and the alcohol is rough and slick, the malts turn woodsy, and it finishes poorly.
